  • $2.4 \pi \times 10^{-4} T\,m\,A^{-1}$
  • $8.0 \pi \times 10^{-5} T\,m\,A^{-1}$
  • $2.4 \pi \times 10^{-5} T\,m\,A^{-1}$
  • $2.4 \pi \times 10^{-7} T\,m\,A^{-1}$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Given, $\chi_{m}=599$
Also, $\mu_{r}=1+\chi_{m}=600$
We know, $\mu=\mu_{r}\mu_{o}$
$\mu=600\times4\pi\times10^{-7}$
$\mu=2400\pi\times10^{-7}$
$\mu=2.4\pi\times10^{-4}\,T\,m\,A^{-1}$

Magnetism & Matter

Magnets are used in many devices like electric bells, telephones, radio, loudspeakers, motors, fans, screwdrivers, lifting heavy iron loads, super-fast trains, especially in foreign countries, refrigerators, etc.

Magnetite is the world’s first magnet. This is also called a natural magnet.  Though magnets occur naturally, we can also impart magnetic properties to a substance. It would be an artificial magnet in that case.

Some of the properties of the magnetic field lines are:

  • The lines and continuous and outside the magnet, the field lines originate from the North pole and terminate at the South pole
  • They form closed loops traversing inside the magnet. 
  • But here the lines seem to originate from the South pole and terminate at the North pole to form closed loops.
  • More number of close lines indicate a stronger magnetic field
  • The lines do not intersect each other
  • The tangent drawn at the field line gives the direction of the field at that point.
